Hi Product Hunt, I'm the maker of Crawio.
Getting a page from a website is easy until the site decides you are a bot. From there, scraping becomes a second job: rotating proxies, browsers that get caught, and bills that climb on every protected page.
Crawio turns that into one call. You send a URL, you get back the page a real visitor sees, and you pay only when the request succeeds. Every response shows exactly what it cost.
What you get today:
• One simple API from any language, plus a Scrapy middleware
• Country targeting in 184 countries and 33 regions
• Sticky sessions for logins and multistep flows
• A Playground to try any URL before writing code
• 500 free credits, no card required
We also published a benchmark: the same 110 fresh pages from 11 well-known sites, sent to six scraping APIs at the same time. Crawio delivered all of them. The method, raw log and test script are public: crawio.com/benchmark

Which sites give you the most trouble today? Share them in the comments and I will run them through Crawio.
